Possibilities of Development in the Single-Pass Internal Cylindrical Grinding

The paper presents trends in the development in the single-pass internal cylindrical grinding worked out in the Department of Production Engineering, Koszalin University of Technology. The role of the computer modeling and simulation in creation of new abrasive tools using the grinding wheels of zoned diversified structure as an example was discussed. The techniques of introducing the artificial porosity into grinding wheels by doping the bubble corundum and by forming the micro-discontinuity on their active surface were presented. The concept for the structure of the intelligent tooling system designed for the single-pass internal cylindrical grinding was also proposed. It was assumed that this system could provide the flexible selection of individual grinding wheels, a dressing cutter, and also the grinding parameters and conditions for the specific technological operation.
